* RL Name: Jason
* How old are you?:18
* Character Name:Bangarrang
* Current Realm (For transfers only):
* Class:Mage
* Level:80
* Spec:Fire (18/53/0)
* What glyphs do you use for your main spec, what is your reasoning:
I use Molten Armor because it converts some more spirit into crit and crit is so important for a fire Mage without them you just can't do much. The 2nd one is Living Bomb which allows the ticks of it to crit and its great for keeping Ignite ticks rolling. Lastly, is the Fireball one which lowers your cast time for Fireball and since its the main move you spam as fire it's crucial too have.
* Do you have dual-spec? If so, what is it?:
I do have a dual spec. It's actually my old arcane spec that I don't use really except for some PvP if I am bored. I have wanted to change it to frost so i could PvP, but I just haven't got around too it.
* If you have a dual-spec are you proficient enough with your other spec to use it in a raid setting?:
If I had to use arcane or frost whichever was needed I could. Arcane used to be my old spec that I was using right about at Ulduar when that was the big thing. Just over time with more gear and inflated stats and a nice ICC buff fire dominated with huge ignite ticks.
* List the name(s) of your current/past alts:
Bangarrang is my main now that I started up about the time of WotLK.
Hugsz is my 80 Warrior that used to be my main in the past. Through vanilla and BC I played the crap out of him.
* List your previous guilds and why you left:
My very first guild on this server was Boomstick Syndicate, and they were all really cool. Only it stayed 10 man and the 25 man progression was mainly pugs and it was just kind of to the point where we weren't going anywhere. So I wanted a lot more than that and wanted to see the game much much more. So then I applied to Abyss and I gotta say I enjoyed them right off the bat. The progression and speed of downing new stuff was so good. Then sadly over time people began to leave,raids became very hard to fill, and progression just stopped completely even back tracked some. I tried to stay as long as I could but the expansions coming soon and I don't see much of a recovery in that time. They did try recruiting but it just doesn't seem like there is a future here. Come Cata I do see it becoming a 10 man guild.
* Why Plaguechill?:
Well you guys have always(since I've been on this server) been that guild that is like "Holy Crap I wish I could be in there!" Plaguechill seems to have have a future ahead of it and Abyss is just slowly dying and has lost a lot of their core people. Sad really
but I'd like to experience the game more and not hope that when raid day comes around we can get all 25 spots and not be missing 5 people and have to do normal modes on some stuff and attempt hardmodes with 22 people. It's very depressing lol.
* Have you ever applied here before? If so on what character(s):
I have never tried applying here.
* Do you have any references within the guild?:
I'm good friends with Larnon and back in Boomstick I used to raid with Famyne and I totally stole his axe. SORRY FAMYNE
. I know Windstrom a little bit I hope he remembers me
* Have you read our guild charter and policies?:
Yes I have.
* We generally raid between 7:30-11:30 PM EST Sunday-Wed if there's enough content. Will you be able to keep a high attendance rate with these raid times?:
For now I will be able too however I do need a job and I have been looking. If one comes around I will do my best to get times not on the schedule of raids but if it's not my choice then I'm not sure how it'll happen. The future is scary!
* We use a loot council to determine where an upgrade is best put to use. Our goal is challenge and achievements - loot is merely the tool needed for these. Do you have an issue with this?
Not at all, sometimes I wish this was the same idea everyone had. I love doing acheivements I love the feel of progression. Gear yes it's lovely and makes you look cool but it's not always needed to progress it's just a buffer too make it easier. Nor am I saying you can go from like Naxx 25 gear into ICC hardmodes except like Gunship maybe because it's Gunship and it's funny.
* Post your armory (remember to log out in the correct gear):
http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Khadgar&cn=Bangarrang * Given that armory doesn't always work, or show offset/unequipped items, please list any other gear you have that you feel is important to your desired raid role:
Sometimes I do use my tier pants and have a full tier set rolling because I would need the hit, that's really only for 10 mans though. I just usually assume theres a Boomkin or Shadowpriest roaming around
* Do you have a WWS, World of Logs or some other combat log of a recent raid? We very rarely consider those without logs.:
I do not have a log at this time and the latest I could get you guys one would be Tuesday when we raid again. I apologize. If it helps at all as a teaser my dps is usually above 14k depending on the fight. Sometimes just inching at 15k. And for fun since we did normal Saurfang because of lack of people this week I was near 18k lol. But in all seriousness I will work on getting a log for you hopefully soon if I can.
* Do you have Ventrilo and a mic? Can you be on Ventrilo in raids without lagging or D/Cing?:
Yes I have a mic,and I have rarely DCed sometimes things happen and I can't control the internet and it will lag and I apologize in advance. I believe this has happened maybe once since I've been in Abyss and that's been about maybe since about the start of ICC a little after.
* Is your internet connection/computer stable?:
Yes it's usually very stable. Latency is about 130 or lower which is perfect to me. My computer seems fine it's survived this long and it's never let me down yet.
* Are you comfortable giving and taking constructive criticism? (IMPORTANT Note: Constructive does not involve the words Scrub, Noob or Fgt):
I've been raiding since Vanilla in usually higher end guilds and they have used constructive criticism with the words noob and it's rude lol. I think I'll be alright though and can take it. I promise I won't cry too hard.(the way that's worded is mega dirty haha)
* What is your favorite boss encounter? Why?
I enjoyed Bloodboil, but at the time I hated it. I thought it was a challenging fight to tank mainly just because of the immune to taunt you have to rip aggro from the other tank it was fun. Now threat isn't much of an issue usually occasionally it is. Kind of the reason I stopped tanking on my Warrior I just didn't enjoy it as much in WotLK
* Tell us about yourself in a short paragraph. This should contain information about you IRL:
Well I am 18 and going off to college in the fall. All the classes are in the morning so my day after that is free. As I said before I need a job so I can pay for gas, no luck though for now. I have a brother who's looking a little like Jesus at the moment. My birthday is September 7th so now that you know that I will be expecting gifts when the time comes
. As stated before though when a job rolls along I'll try and get good times but I'm not going to argue about when I work right off the bat.
* What else do you have to offer the guild?:
Well I'm a nice fella when you get to know me lol. I know my class very well or at least I like to think I do. People sometimes send me tells and they're like omg super deeps and that's cool I suppose but I'm just playing how I normally do. Big numbers and stuff is sometimes great but other times you just gotta sacrifice it so you can down something. So what I can offer to you is someone who is dedicated and loves progression, someone who can pull the numbers you need when you need, and also a pretty good person all around.
* How did you hear about us?
Well you guys are Plaguechill and I see you guys around sometimes
. I know you guys love your progression and I think it be awesome to be apart of that even if it's only for a limited time. Some other Mage could come along and do 80 million dps and I'm sure you guys would jump at the chance to get him haha. Sadly though I can only do 60 million I'm sorry
